My first grandchild...

A few weeks ago, we were delighted to learn that my daughter is expecting our very first grandchild. Now, at eight weeks, it looks like she might lose the baby.

A week and a half ago, the ultra-sound showed a healthy, adorable baby, but the amniotic fluid looked low. The doctor did an another ultra-sound on Thursday to check how things were progressing, and could no longer detect a heartbeat. She has had intermittent bleeding over the last few days and we are beginning to fear the worst.

We know that miscarriages are very common, but it is still very painful. Please keep my daughter and her husband in your prayers. We are doing our best to give them comfort and support. Their names are Natalie and Matt.

Thanks,
Becky

For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!Galatians 5:13-15

I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what you're all going through right now. I will be sure to keep your daughter in my prayers.

Thank you so much for the prayers! We thank God for the comfort He is able to give us.

I want to thank you for all your prayers. Natalie and Matt did lose the baby, but they have come through the experience with much wisdom and grace. We are doing everything we can to support them. The outpouring of love has been humbling and greatly appreciated.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Natalie and Matt are blessed to have you with them through this sadness.

I would like to ask for prayer for a former student of mine. Her name is Emily. Sunday, she was diagnosed with Wilson's disease, which is a very rare liver disorder. She is a strong believer and she is only 16. She needs a liver transplant immediately. So far, they have been able to find a liver that matches her. Tonight she will have surgery. Pray that she handles the anesthesia well, that her body doesn't reject the liver, and that she recovers quickly after the surgery.

My request seems so small next to all of these enormous needs, but it is very dear to me. Please pray for my son's safe travel and return as he embarks on his first spring break trip. When we are young, we believe we are invincible, and because of that, sometimes we act before thinking of the consequences. I pray that, not only will his travels be safe, but that he will behave responsibly and in the decent manner in which he was raised.

Many thanks.

And this!’ And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, ‘No. This is what’s important.’” –Iain Thomas
